David Ris Photography

I’ve had the honor of volunteering my photography skills for the Mattie Stepanek Peace Foundation’s Peace Day for the past several years; I’ve posted some images from this year’s event. You can learn more about the Foundation at https://mattiespeacefoundation.org/about-mattie-stepanek/ and perhaps attend next year’s Peace Day. In the meantime, please like their page: https://www.facebook.com/MattieStepanek.

Even under record-setting temperatures, families, neighbors, and community groups gathered for the annual Fourth of July Parade in Montgomery Village, Maryland, continuing a long-standing Independence Day tradition.
